Answers & Solutions:

1. Answer-d

Let us
assume he has 100 l juice.

After
adding 10 % extra water new amount of juice= 110l

Again
adding 10% water, new juice= 121 l

Profit=21/100*100=21%

2. Answer-a

Its obvious
the answer is 25 % . no need of any calculation but during exams, we feel like
it must not be that simple and sometimes start calculating and waste time.

3. Answer-c

Let cp of
one article be rs 1

Sp = rs
1.25

Again new
sp = (1.25*1.2)=1.5

If he
initially sells 100 articles, cp = 100*1=rs 100

Sp =
100*1.25= rs 125

New sp =
75*1.5=112.5 ( as 25% articles were lost)

New gain %=
12.5 %

4. Answer-c

Only 90% of
the manufactured pens are delivered for sale.

Let M be
the manufacturing cost of each pen.

Total
income including profit=(8000*M)*1.25

This income
is obtained by selling 90% manufactured pens at rs10 i.e. 7200*10.
